Reality? TV.

Today i actually sat down and watched an episode of Bridezillas. i know that it's uber-gay that i even took the time out of my day to watch the show, but stranger things have happened. For anyone who hasn't seen Bridezillas before, here's a brief run-down: Man & Woman are engaged...bride is a bitch.

The show baffles me. Where do they find the guys that are down for this deal? Imagine proposing to your sweetheart, and the next thing she does is call up a nationally syndicated show, tell them that she's getting ready to put you through hell, and offers to let them roll the cameras. Really? In the episode i saw today, the bride-to-be fusses at her dude, steals his debit card, ODs his account, wears a tiara for a week, makes some other chick pump her gas (because she couldn't smell like gas on her wedding day), and has the groomsmen carry her fat ass down the aisle. Bananas.

One thing i did learn from the show is that bitchiness and weight are in direct proportion. (as are a few other things, but that's another post.) Apparently, as the weight increases so does the attitude... which is completely backwards to me. I'd think that the bride would just be happy that she found some guy willing to accept her rolls and folds while simultaneously embracing the thousands of dollars he will kick out trying to mitigate her obesity and knock off her cholesterol. That's a lot of Cheerios.

Of course they hide this documentary on lifetime, or oxygen, or whatever channel that was. This way, tons of women can laugh and smirk as they eagerly await the day that they too can admittedly be intolerable. You'd think some responsible member of the staff would push to have the broadcast moved to some channel that guys actually watch. Strategically decreasing the net total of weddings annually while singlehandedly decreasing the divorce rate.

Since they won't, i will. Don't get married. if you're already married... eh, oh well. (of course i'm joking.........)
